The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests are everything (and worse) that the Tea Party gatherings were ACCUSED of being.

While a unified and coherent message is yet to be found among these lazy Leftists, there are a variety of complaints made by the “Flea Party” against their country, their fellow citizens, and their lives, in general.

It’s the kind of display that hard-working, proud Americans do not engage in. They don’t have “weeks” to sit in filth with their topless brethren and bitch about something….anything….especially things they know nothing about.

And let’s not even talk about who is financing and organizing this astroturfed conglomeration of idiots. I’ll list SOME of them because the astroturf financiers and “organizers” are another story unto themselves:

Had even one Tea Party rally resulted in 140 arrests, defecation on police cars, speakers calling for a violent French Revolution-style change in society, or members of the military getting attacked with spit and epithets, would the national media have offered such a balanced report — or would the media have used any of these incidents to warn America about the latent hate and violence in the movement?

It is 12 minutes long, but worth the watch. You come away completely understanding why Obama appears to hate this country, capitalism, and “the rich”. It is clear, watching the video, from where his Marxist ideology was developed.

Now as you watch, just imagine if a similar video was put together on any Republican candidate or President. And just, for grins, assume for the Republican, you can exchange the words in the video: evangelical Christian for atheist, the words student of big business and capitalism with “student of Marx or Marxist”, and a “father who believed in taking land from blacks and giving it to whites” with the reference of Obama’s father writing a paper on “communism and the taking of land from citizens and giving them to blacks.”

If the tables were turned, that Republican would be ousted from the Presidential race (by the media) faster than you can say “fellow traveller” or “Karl Marx”.

Obama has a dangerous anti-American, anti-Constitutional, Marxist ideology, just like his parents and his grandparents. But you wouldn’t know it from the mainstream press…..and many of his supporters still shudder when he’s called a Marxist. Amazing.

As I’ve read and listened to the new just over the last several days, I just keep wondering what our country is and has been transforming to.

As I’ve stated before, I no longer believe the fight in this country is between Republicans and Democrats or liberals vs. conservatives, per se. I believe our fight is clearly one on many fronts: good vs. evil, anti-Capitalists vs. Capitalists, immoral vs. moral, and haters-of-Americans vs. America lovers, and freedom suppressors vs. freedom lovers. This includes clear assaults on our markets, upon Christians, upon patriots, our military, and our system of laws.

Much of the most recent news gives a great glimpse into the country we are becoming and have become. As you read these examples, think to yourself if this is the country you want now and one you wish to leave to your kids and grandkids.

We’ve sat on the sidelines for far too long while we’ve allowed these assaults on our institutions to fester and grow. It is a sad state of affairs. And the current administration and Congress has done virtually nothing to make it better and almost everything to make it worse.

I give you, my fellow citizens, a snapshot of your country in the Spring, 2010:

Bono started undergoing gender-reassignment surgery in March 2009 – soon after turning 40.

In an interview last year, he said undergoing the surgery was ‘the best decision I’ve ever made’.

He said: ‘I feel so much more comfortable than I’ve ever been.

‘I’ve felt male as far back as I can remember. Life is short and life is precious. This is who I am. I need to finally be who I am.’

He explained that the entire transition from female to male will take about four to five years.

So far, his breasts have been removed and he has received hormone treatments to deepen his voice. And to his delight, he now has to shave his face.

As one commenter in the news article stated clearly:

“What should be discussed as a psychiatric disorder is instead being celebrated, at least by this nutty girl and a few like-minded gawkers.

And another:

“Anyone can be confused and uncomfortable, have pieces removed and foreign pieces sewn on, and take hormones to change all sorts of things. It does not change what you were created to be. It only creates an illusion.”

Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted Muslims.

“It looks like Islam has gotten a pass,” he told reporters. “They are able to have their services, but just because I disagree … I’m excluded.”

Franklin Graham

Kudos to Graham for defending his beliefs and Jesus Christ and hanging tough amidst his Biblically prophetic outright persecution. Since when is it not OK to profess the Christian faith and belief? Maybe since Obama said, “We are no longer a Christian Nation“. More Graham:

He (Graham) said he doesn’t believe “all religions are equal” and that there is only “one way to God” — and that is through Jesus.

Asked if he still believes Islam is evil, he said: “I believe the way they treat women is evil, yes I do.”And, can he understand how some of his comments would be offensive to Muslims? “Oh, I’m sure,” he said. “But I find what they teach and what they preach and what’s on the Internet — I find that to be offensive, too.”

Another moment in the press conference, he said people shouldn’t be offended because it’s simply a disagreement in what people believe.

Last time I checked, Franklin Graham runs an organization for helping the poor, downtrodden, and abused. They are active in Haiti, Chile, Nashville and more currently helping with disasters. He comes from perhaps the most ethical of families but is persecuted for calling evil what it is. Islam is not a religion of love and helping fellow man, but is an authoritative one of suppression, threats, and violence and one that condemns those who disagree with its tenets.

Franklin Graham prays for Muslims with whom he disagrees. But in Islam, Graham is an infidel and worthy of death. Can the contrast be any more stark?

More snapshots of your country in the news including High Unemployment, Immorality, boycotts for border laws, Presidential power grabs, entitlements run amok and sports star and Hollywood depravity:

Of course, not all is lost in America. I hold out great hope that the uprising of American patriots will turn back the tide of this assault on America.

But reality is reality and these headlines are but a snapshot in time of our country right now. Would the founders even recognize us anymore? Just ponder the thought and think/pray about what it is that you might be able to offer to our country to change it back to what it was meant to be.

Even though I am not giving up hope until the last Marxist votes today (UPDATE after vote: 219 Marxists for, 212 Patriots against), I am ANGRY, frustrated, and sad for our country all at the same time. The Democratic leaders have lied and bribed their way through this process. They are arrogant and happy about running roughshod over our freedom, our opinions, and our Constitution.

It is hard for us to imagine that our country is descending toward something similar to what we have read about in history books (USSR, Stalin, Chavez — name your tyrant or you Communist). It is surreal. But it is happening. And many Americans are going right along with these arrogant people we call the President and leaders in Congress. Many will deny it. And many will call me crazy for saying it. But it is true nonetheless.

Even though the vast majority of Americans oppose this power grab called Obamacare, it is still astounding that so many Americans feel that something is “owed” them….so much so that they feel it fine for our government to take over free markets and give to them whatever they want. But, again, it’s happening.

I am sick to death of the “always been a Democrat so Obama has to be right” crowd, too. Ladies and gentleman, the Democratic party of JFK jumped ship long ago…and any stragglers went overboard in November, 2008. I have encountered individuals who know nothing to very little about what is going on in Washington — but because they (Or their families) have voted “D” all of their lives, Obama must be the god he thinks he is! It is frustrating.

<slap><slap><slap> Wake the hell up America…..we are on the verge of losing 234 years of greatness…..that is NOT an overstatement. Read, be aware, protest, donate to the people running against the Marxists in Congress this November. Get involved locally. Work to get Obama out of office in 2012 ( if not before).

If America can be damaged from within its own structure…She can be repaired as well.

But put aside your family’s political history, or your bad choices, and even circumstances you didn’t ask for…..and know that freedom is not free. And there are no guarantees with individual freedom. Some people experience hard knocks in life, but it is still not the job of all Americans to be forced to pick up your pieces (Many will, thank the goodness of American hearts, but they should not be forced by mandate of government!)

Understand that the lifestyle we all live (where the rich can get as rich as they want and the poor drive cars, have cable and cell phones) didn’t come free. Men and women fought and died for the things we have and our way of life. Our way of life is being threatened like never before from within!

I could go on, but “Victor” has more to say in more eloquent fashion than I. “Victor” has captured the sentiments of many of us.

Worth a read (my emphasis):

Today is a Momentous Day!

Today is the day! Today is the day that all Americans see the naked ambition of fifteen percent of the population as they exert their will over the silent, hard working 85 percent. Today is the culmination of many years of hard work in swaying public perception, breaking down the walls of decency and building a climate of victimization and entitlement. Today the House of Representatives votes on the Senate Health Care Reform Act.

Never mind that no one has actually read this pork nirvana: this bill that nationalizes one sixth of the economy. Never mind that this bill is a slap in the face to all who work hard and don’t expect or would accept a handout from anyone. Never mind that, on its face, the bill is a brazen attempt to subvert the Constitution of the United States and assign obligations to buy a service and criminalization of the God-given right to choose.

The right to choose not to buy a service one may see as a bad bargain, or the right to decide what is right for your own body. Those who have eroded the belief in right and wrong for decades; who have literally made a federal case over the right to control a person’s body; who have cried that the state had no business, indeed no say at all, about what what one put in their body, believed in their head, and even what they did to their unborn children. Now those very same harpies have turned that tenet on its head as they grasp at the ability to regulate every aspect of what we do with the body God gave us.

A God they do not believe in and they do not seem accountable to. For we live in a time where the ugliest of motivations are cloaked in compassion. A time where the killing of an unborn child is seen as ‘kind’ as opposed to saddling a selfish couple with the ‘burden’ of raising unwanted offspring. A time where the lazy and the losers in the lottery of life are trying to maintain a lifestyle by taxing the driven and conscientious people who make this country hum with productivity. These are times that try the morals of men as those who want to invalidate hard work and drive have control of the levers of power and use that awful responsibility for their own gain and avarice.

Before you go on and whine about the poor and stricken and the addict who can neither care for themselves or have the tools to prosper in this world, know this: Life is a harsh taskmaster who punishes the dumb, the lazy and the foolish with scourge and tribulation until they learn to operate within the constraints of civilization. Lessons you don’t learn or fail to heed as a child will be revisited repeatedly until you get with the program, succumb to the destruction brought on by your own lusts. Attempts to rewrite God’s law, or common sense, for those agnostically inclined, will always result in an unbalanced society that careens hither and yon morally, until it sputters to a halt, mired in the ambivalence of indecision and relativism. A civilization that feels more empathy for the sinners than the sinned-against is destined to fail as the criminals achieve a critical mass and take the controls in efforts to profit from the moral decline.

We have such a state of affairs now. The ugly girl at the dance is now calling the tune, much to the chagrin of the highly offended orchestra. The drop-outs who threw stones at the University’s stained glass windows now are the faculty; destroying the ideas and ethics that made this country great. There is a joke in the trades that men teach their children to work before they go off to college and get ruined. The ability to define right and wrong is the hallmark of a great society and the lack thereof the talisman of a civilization in decline. The loafers and anti-establishment crowd of the sixties are now deciding the tax rate for the rest of us, and they are not amused anymore. They are out for revenge. Revenge on the ‘boy scouts’ who kept their collective noses clean and worked eighty hours a week and put their kids through college and took care of their ailing parents and saluted on Veteran’s Day all across this fine country.

‘Liberal’ doesn’t even begin to appropriately label these Marxists! They really are the failed Communists who sewed the cancer of relativism into our public psyche and tried with all of their drug-addled reasoning to convince the rest of us that drive and vigor were not valid traits and conscientiousness was tantamount to selfishness. That success was to be punished, or at least taxed to support the ‘less able’ among us.

The Democrat majority in both Houses and the Marxist in the White House are poised to enact their vengeance today on all those who ignored their pleas for fairness and charity to the losers and lazy in society. Today they can ‘get over’ on the corporate toadies and millionaires who rule over and abuse the working class. If it were that easy, FDR, LBJ or even Ralph Nader would have so changed the collective zeitgeist to such an extant that this latest populist farce would be ignored, even maligned by the healthy, prosperous and well adjusted masses.

Instead we have an anti-St. Patrick leading the snakes from the swamps right into the halls of power. Its ironic that the ‘most transparent’ government in history has hidden its agenda and blocked public reflection on its programs. Its ironic that even the President is not sure what is actually in the health care bill and more troubling that he doesn’t care by what process it arrives at his desk. It will be law, no matter how many seats are lost in the coming elections.

This rush to political suicide by an overtly socialist Democrat Party barely disguises the real intent of this travesty of legislative process: the health care reform bill is Communism. Socialism is a ‘cooperative’ between business and Government. Communism’s hallmark is the Government’s possession of the means of production. I trot out this aged mare to make a point: a government that can nationalize the better part of a native automobile industry is, by its very nature, Communistic. Such a Government should not be trusted to ‘nurse’ a substantially healthy industry. Period. If its too big to fail, its just too big.

If the Government can decide that an entire industry needs to be saved and defies its own Constitution to do so, then that Government is invalid and must go. I trust that the Supreme Court will strike this law as soon as the mountain of lawsuits start. But what do we make of a process by which a minority of the population forces its mindset on the majority? Under what authority have GM and Chrysler been seized? Its not Constitutional. And neither is this health care bill.

Yes, today is a momentous day! It is the day we declare war on Liberalism. Today is the day we record the vote for this Communistic legislation. Today we make plans to campaign against our socialist Senators, reprobate Representatives and power-hungry President. And, pass or fail, we will know who voted for our ‘right to choose’ and who opted for a ‘Stalinization’ of our legislative process. It works both ways: Freedom of choice extends to the right to choose NOT to do, buy or consume anything, for whatever reason.

There is a billboard along I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., with a huge photo of former president George W. Bush and this question: “Miss Me Yet?”….

……Mary Teske, the general manager of Schubert & Hoey Outdoor Advertising reports, “The Bush Miss Me Yet? billboard was paid for by a group of small business owners who feel like Washington is against them. They wish to remain anonymous. They thought it was a fun way of getting out their message.

Bushes family and background includes a WWII hero, self-made businessmen, legitimate admittance and good grades at Ivy League school, and freedom-loving people; Obama’s admittance to an Ivy League school is questionable and no grades have been disclosed, Obama’s family includes Marxists, Communists, and African tyrannical leaders — his background also includes a radical minister, domestic terrorists, and a childhood that didn’t bring him to the mainland of the United States until he was 18 years old!

There are two different versions of the story of the end of the Cold War: the Russian version, and the truth. President Barack Obama endorsed the Russian version in Moscow last week.

Speaking to a group of students, our president explained it this way: “The American and Soviet armies were still massed in Europe, trained and ready to fight. The ideological trenches of the last century were roughly in place. Competition in everything from astrophysics to athletics was treated as a zero-sum game. If one person won, then the other person had to lose. And then within a few short years, the world as it was ceased to be. Make no mistake: This change did not come from any one nation. The Cold War reached a conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years, and because the people of Russia and Eastern Europe stood up and decided that its end would be peaceful.”

The truth, of course, is that the Soviets ran a brutal, authoritarian regime. The KGB killed their opponents or dragged them off to the Gulag. There was no free press, no freedom of speech, no freedom of worship, no freedom of any kind. The basis of the Cold War was not “competition in astrophysics and athletics.” It was a global battle between tyranny and freedom. The Soviet “sphere of influence” was delineated by walls and barbed wire and tanks and secret police to prevent people from escaping. America was an unmatched force for good in the world during the Cold War. The Soviets were not. The Cold War ended not because the Soviets decided it should but because they were no match for the forces of freedom and the commitment of free nations to defend liberty and defeat Communism.

AMEN to that one, sister! More…

It is irresponsible for an American president to go to Moscow and tell a room full of young Russians less than the truth about how the Cold War ended.One wonders whether this was just an attempt to push “reset” — or maybe to curry favor. Perhaps, most concerning of all, Mr. Obama believes what he said.

Lynne Cheney on Obama’s anti-Americanism:

Mr. Obama’s method for pushing reset around the world is becoming clearer with each foreign trip. He proclaims moral equivalence between the U.S. and our adversaries, he readily accepts a false historical narrative, and he refuses to stand up against anti-American lies.

The approach was evident in his speech in Moscow and in his speech in Cairo last month. In Cairo, he asserted there was some sort of equivalence between American support for the 1953 coup in Iran and the evil that the Iranian mullahs have done in the world since 1979. On an earlier trip to Mexico City, the president listened to an extended anti-American screed by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and then let the lies stand by responding only with, “I’m grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for the things that occurred when I was 3 months old.”

Asked at a NATO meeting in France in April whether he believed in American exceptionalism, the president said, “I believe in American Exceptionalism just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.” In other words, not so much.

and on Obama’s ego-centric view of his Presidency:

The Obama administration does seem to believe in another kind of exceptionalism — Obama exceptionalism. “We have the best brand on Earth: the Obama brand,” one Obama handler has said. What they don’t seem to realize is that once you’re president, your brand is America, and the American people expect you to defend us against lies, not embrace or ignore them. We also expect you to know your history.

Wow! — last week Sarah Palin called it plainly and correctly on Obama’s economic policy when she said it was immoral. From Palin’s TIME magazine interview:

President Obama is growing government outrageously, and it’s immoral and it’s uneconomic, his plan that he tries to sell America. His plan to “put America on the right track” economically, incurring the debt that our nation is incurring, trillions of dollars that we’re passing on to our kids, expecting them to pay off for us, is immoral and doesn’t even make economic sense. So his growth of government agenda needs to be ratcheted back………allow free enterprise and the industrious Americans who run our small businesses and want to raise a family, allowing our families to grow and prosper and thrive, Americans who still believe in those ideals to get in there and effect change. I want to work for people who believe in that

This week Lynne Cheney correct Obama’s history and slams his anti-American views.

Perhaps we are getting a clearer picture of the conservative movement of the near future …..and it’s wearing lipstick and heels!
